    THE diligent Reds have hollered for “The Hoff” to help cure their penalty-prone ways so Friday night’s must-win Super Rugby clash at Suncorp Stadium is not scuttled by the referee’s whistle.
    Top referee Rohan Hoffmann has been a conspicuous on-field extra at Reds training twice this week in a move by coach Nick Stiles to instil more disciplined habits.
    I cant feckn believe that this is allowed to happen.
    Understandable to have refs come in and discuss discipline, but during a week that he will be officiating - wtf - seriously!!!!

    Heroic Hodgson Back to Face Reds

    By Fraser Smith on Wed 24th May 17


    The Road Safety Western Force have made several changes for their Round 14 Aussie derby with the Queensland Reds at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night, including the return of club legend Matt Hodgson.

    Francois van Wyk and Heath Tessmann return to the starting front row as Pek Cowan and Tatafu Polota-Nau are set to provide impact off the bench.

    Up and coming lock Matt Philip comes into the starting second row, after a strong showing off the bench last week.

    Michael Ruru will start at scrumhalf after an impressive performance last week in his return from an ankle injury suffered in Round Nine against the Kings.

    Future Force Foundation Member James Verity-Amm will start on the right wing, while Marcel Brache will marshal the troops from fullback in his return from concussion.

    Mitchell Short and Luke Burton have been included on the bench.

    Road Safety Western Force Head Coach Dave Wessels says this match is huge in the context of the Australian conference and his men are up for the challenge.

    “We were very disappointed with our performance against the Highlanders and irrespective of who we are playing it’s important that we respond with the same intensity that has been evident for the majority of our season so far.”

    Bang on GIGS.

    Good to see Peter Grant OK after the free egg - glad he's OK.

    Pleased that Hodgo back at OSF and Captain.

    I'd love to see Curtis Rona really have a crack at the Reds and just run the ball.

    The bench gives us a chance of sustaining a strong 80 minute effort.

    GO THE FORCE!!
